Making it with our own hands
The mechanism of operation of the shower-toptun is so simple that it can be made with your own hands.
To do this, you need to purchase several items:
- a foot pump for cars;
- rubber hose;
- cork made of rubber or wood;
- A plastic container with a lid;
- shower head;
- tube made of plastic or metal.
The process of making a homemade stomping pump:
- Fill the container with water and put it in the sun to heat.
- It is necessary to make two holes in the plug with different sizes (the diameter of one hole - 1 cm, the second - 2 cm).
- Insert the tubes into the holes. Through the hole of a larger diameter, the tube should reach the bottom of the container.
- Put rubber hoses on the tubes.
- Attach the foot pump to a tube of a smaller diameter, which will supply air into the container.
- The shower head is attached to the larger diameter hose.
- Additionally, you can make a holder for the shower head or use improvised objects: a fence, a wall or wood.

The design of the shower-toptoon is ready for use. But you can try to improve it, because human imagination has no limits. For example, a faucet with a watering can create so much pressure in the tank that even without running the pump, for some time the water will pour in a strong jet from the shower head.

To make showering more comfortable, you can attract another person who will pump air into the system with a car pump, and then swap places.
